These comparisons with electrostimulation are dumb. Men have (on average) much more muscle mass, including abdominal muscles.

“Have you tried… Exercising?” is quite a tone-deaf response to these matters at this point.
Of course it’s correlated with healthy living. Of course it helps maintain a healthy lifestyle with wonderful benefits for your mental health and anxiety. Sure!
However, when you’re not there (yet), and you have no idea how to get “there”, having someone go “Well actually, it’s not that hard, lol, just start exercising” isn’t helpful. To build such a healthy pattern requires more care and nuance than just the knowledge that exercising helps, or the willpower to drag yourself through the first few days of whatever initial exercise routine, hoping it magically kickstarts this wonderful, new life.
It implies that that’s a quality you should be judging people on, even if their looks have no bearing on the situation.
Of all the things or even subjects you could have made a comment on in this thread, you left one on the looks of a woman.
She doesn’t need your validation. Other Lemmy users don’t need your opinion on who’s attractive. It’s meaningless and detracts from the conversation.
